This post was intended to help out the SAR teams for those of us who may get seriously injured or lost. I posted it in the begginer section but even the most experienced out there should follow a common sense rule of leaving behind detailed information. I personally like the freedom of not having my hikes set in stone but even that should be passed along to not just your loved ones but to the Rangers and SAR. I've been hiking for over 30 years but have never thought to expand my itinerary beyond what is required for the permit, which if you really think about it, is very minimal. So for this year and future trip, I'll improve in that area.
